Why did we make Diesel?

Preventing Runtime Errors

We don't want to waste time tracking down runtime errors.
We achieve this by having
Diesel eliminate the possibility of incorrect database interactions
at compile time.

Built for Performance

Diesel offers a high level query builder and lets you think about your problems in Rust, not SQL.
Our focus on zero-cost abstractions allows
Diesel to run your query and load your data even faster than C.

Productive and Extensible

Unlike Active Record and other ORMs, Diesel is designed to be abstracted over.
Diesel enables you to write reusable code
and think in terms of your problem domain and not SQL.
